   Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

4. 04

   Pre-chill a coupe, add the brandy, sweet vermouth, lemon juice, grenadine, and one dash of aromatic bitters to a shaker with solid ice, shake firmly for 10–15 seconds until very cold, fine-strain into the chilled glass, let coarse bubbles settle, and serve without garnish.
